Salads & Veg

Salads are ideal for light lunchs in the summer and cosy side dishes for various main courses in the winter. Preparing veg is one of my favourite things (when I have a sharp knife that is, other it can be incredibly tedious and semi-dangerous), it’s very therapeutic and I feel proud if they are all cut nicely…

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating. ~Luciano Pavarotti and William Wright, Pavarotti

And I find chopsticks frankly distressing. Am I alone in thinking it odd that a people ingenious enough to invent paper, gunpowder, kites and any number of other useful objects, and who have a noble history extending back 3,000 years haven’t yet worked out that a pair of knitting needles is no way to capture food? ~Bill Bryson

I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we’re talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime ‘associates,’ food, for me, has always been an adventure. ~Anthony Bourdain

Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all. ~Harriet Van Horne

There is no love sincerer than the love of food.
~George Bernard Shaw

A hen's egg is, quite simply, a work of art, a masterpiece of design and construction with, it has to be said, brilliant packaging.
~Delia Smith
